◆ Announcement of resumption of 'Brave and company slave business life' that has been suspended
The manga ' Brave and company slave's side business life ', which published the first episode in March 2020, was a work that many people read from the time of publication, but due to the production system, the second in July 2020. The update was stopped from the first part of the story. Since it is in progress so that the update can be resumed at the time when other new serializations start, I will show you a synopsis and a flickering of the manuscript.



Heppoko hero Kuzuru fights with his friends in Conam, which is infested with monsters. Kuzuru managed to do it thanks to his excellent friends, but he collapsed due to the invasion of a strong enemy. When the consciousness that disappeared like being sucked in by a powerful blow awakens ...



It was a landscape of modern Japan that Kuzur didn't recognize. Kuzuru, who was lost on the street at the venue of a big game event, is picked up and recruited by a beautiful woman, Valkyrie, who works for a game company.



A few months later, friends from another world, Conam, come to pick up Kuzuru, but the game company's work is too busy to quit. At that time, Walküre proposed an eclectic idea, 'I'll give you two days off a week, so why don't you do brave work during that time?' The death march of hell, a hero and a company slave, has begun in this way.



And from here is unpublished. After returning to Conam after a long time, Kuzuru fights against a monster that has gained momentum due to the disappearance of the hero. Coupled with the sickening spirit that was used in the company slaves, Kuzuru manages to fight against monsters and challenges magic that he was not good at. What helped me there was the experience of the company slave, which was just painful ...?



You may also see a slightly cool scene of Kuzuru, who could only see a crying face and a troubled face.



There are a lot of monsters in my hometown that I managed to reach. On top of that, the guy who is related to him shows up. The outline of the second half of the second episode to the third episode is like this. The date and time for resuming the serialization is undecided, but we are working hard to show it to our readers, so please look forward to it!
